I've got a package of parts coming from Wisconsin that was shipped Monday of last week and hasn't arrived. So yesterday I sent them an email asking if they had tracking information. I said I understand it may be just the Christmas overload but I didn't want to ignore a delay due to a problem somewhere. I got a response today saying they sent it parcel post.
I had to look that up. Didn't know what it was.
Turns out it's a service offered by the USPS that's slower than almost any other form of shipping but also costs less.
Then the light went on. They're offering free shipping for orders placed before the end of the month.
I'm not sure which is more exciting, the product or the presenter.

On the Thursday night between Christmas and New Year's we're going to have a party just for the adults at Pathway. It will be a dessert pot-luck mostly for the chance to socialize without our normal flood of munchkins.
I've been scouring the internet looking for a few games we can play at the party and can't believe how much trouble I'm having. Some of them are just lame, others involve shaving creme and/or water balloons, some are altogether inappropriate for a church gathering...
I'm taking suggestions if you have them.
We're a month away from auto auction week here in Phoenix. They estimate a total of 2500 cars will cross the block at the six auctions being held at different venues on the east side, with about 1200 of them at the biggest, Barrett-Jackson. Pat and I talked about the auctions when I was out there last Sunday and he won't be participating in B-J this year because of the way they've restructured their auction. He's taking all five of his auction cars to Russo-Steele. That includes a perfectly restored low miles 1960 Chrysler 300. It's the 400hp, 413 cubic inch 4-speed, with two 4-bbl carbs mounted out by the fender wells. He told me what it should sell for, so I'll be tracking it to see if it brings what he expects.
I'll work ahead so I have time to go to B-J at least, and hopefully Russo-Steele, too, Thursday and Friday, respectively.
The AZ Chiropractor's association held a demonstration at the capital building downtown today because the state has changed its policies on how much reimbursement they get, cutting it so much that many have been forced out of business.
They interviewed a couple of them on TV tonight. Those guys are really bent out of shape.
Just so you know, any preacher who's been in the biz for more than five years will tell you Christmas sermons are the worst.
I may be at Starbucks tomorrow. Double shot.

Here's a fun game: Give everyone a piece of paper and have them write one memory. It could be from their childhood or adulthood, but it needs to be something nobody else (or very few people) would know. Then collect the papers, read them aloud, and have people try to guess who's memory it is. The first one to guess it gets a point. The one with the most points at the end (after all the memories are read or just after a certain amount of time) wins.
